Timothy Bradley vs Danny Garcia

Welcome back, chump. Timmeh outboxes the **** out of Garcia for a close but clear UD win.

 

Good fight. Leaning towards Danny for the decision.

Brilliant fight.

Bradley would be able to outbox him.

Iron chin enables him not to worry about any counterpunching power.

 

Chuuuuuuuuuuuuump!

Fancy seeing you around here. :yep

 

If he replicates his performance versus Provodnikov, then Bradley gets KTFO after bravely/stupidly rising with the quickness from a few left hook knockdowns.

If he replicates his performance versus Marquez, then he coasts to an easy wide UD.

If he replicates his performance versus Pacquiao (neither as cautious and safely in-and-out as with Marquez nor as rumble-happy as with Provodnikov) then...hard call. :conf Then it becomes a 50-50 and truly interesting boxing match.

 

Iron chin indeed but Danny's hooks (IMO) pack a deal more wallop than any of the most lethal ammo in Ruslan's arsenal ...which damn near did the job on Stormy.

..of course, that was Bradley in 'gone full ******' mode and we canprobably assume that having proven his point he will never pull that **** again...

Of course, he might also think, "OK, this dude is undefeated like me and is connected with Haymon and GBP...plus his style will have the crowd worked up and catch the judges' eyes...maybe I had better not be timid lest there be room to give this away or get done dirty..."

I just can't say with utmost confidence that Bradley won't at some point slug with Garcia. This is different from old Marquez hanging back and waiting for the stars to align for a perfect counter. Garcia comes at you like you insulted his sisters' musical talents.

 

Who's iron chin? Lucas's chin is just as good as Bradley's and Danny hit him so hard that he backed up and scratched his head. Bradley can't bring the power that Lucas brought and Danny took Lucas's best shots. Bradley had better be ready to box the best he ever boxed or he is in for a disappointing night.

 

It is iron. You're right that Lucas' is as good, in fact it's better - however, you can have an iron chin and still have less punch resistance than Lucas. He is just a machine. Unfair to compare regular humans to him.

If Bradley didn't have an iron chin he wouldn't have been able to hang on to reach the scorecards against Pacquiao or Provodnikov. Even wtih Marquez, he was clipped with a few trademark Dinamita counter right hands (granted, very few and far between) and didn't crumble. He gets hurt because he stands up to punchers and isn't particularly slick and doesn't always prioritize the "...and don't get hit" part of the game as much as he ought to considering his own relative lack of power and the fact that he does have the skill to avoid more than he does. Anyone with even great punch resistance can get wobbled if they fight stupidly often enough with the wrong people. His recovery is pretty stupendous as well. That said, I don't know if even his excellent faculties of recovery would be of much aid if he fought stupid with Garcia and got caught with too many hooks...

 

This would be a great fight, 50/50 for me, both guys have that "inner steel" where that they feel nobody can beat them.

 

I take Danny I see that Classic Philly fighter in him.

 

Bradley decision but it would be a close fight.
